you will def see better temps with the 212 EVO. Thats a great cooler. Make sure you apply that thermal paste good and install that 212 EVO correctly. You should be good.

Hyper 212 Evo can cool it easily. Sometimes during applying thermal paste small air bubbles remains in that layer causes more heat. Now you should take that cooler out. Then wipe the thermal paste that you installed before by a small smooth cotton cloth. Take it out correctly. Apply a new thick layer of thermal paste that come with hyper 212 Evo on the heatpipes that come contact with cpu. DON'T APPLY THERMAL PAGE ON CPU. Because it may spread near the socket and can damage the motherboard. Apply a thick layer and spread it on cooler accordingly. Then unnatural the cooler again tightly. After it whenever you will removing the cooler you have to install new layer of thermal paste.
